Palestine activists are planning to besiege an Israeli weapons factory
JVL Introduction
Palestine Action was founded in July 2020 by a pair of long-time pro-Palestine activists disillusioned with polite resistance and PA has earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most militant direct-action groups.
The group’s sole target, Elbit Systems, is Israel’s largest private weapons manufacturer, which happens to have a major UK manufacturing base.
In this article on Novara Media, Rivkah Brown evaluates the group’s activities to date.
In September 2022 charges were dropped against five Palestine Action activists concerning alleged criminal damage and aggregated trespass for causing the shut-down of Elbit’s Shenstone factory, due, according to PA, to an “unrealistic chance of conviction”.
A trial of another six activists is ongoing at Wolverhampton Crown Court. You can read reports on it on Skwawkbox here and here.

Wow, hope it all works OK and nobody gets hurt. Of course we know Israel will just move to another country to make their weapons but I hope there are fewer and fewer countries who are on their side in this war of oppression.
I agree wholeheartedly with Dee Howard. God Bless them, they are risking a lot for the cause. Yes, let’s hope other Countries refuse to allow them to have Arms factories, though we know that the US will allow them to build facilities there.
